Helmed by Lesley Demetriades, Hallmark’s ‘Sisterhood, Inc.’ is a romantic drama movie that acquaints us with a corporate executive named Megan and her sister, Izzy. Noticing that the latter’s life is in turmoil, the older sister becomes concerned about her and wants to do everything in her power to make her situation better. Thus, Megan establishes a board of directors in order to bring peace and order back into Izzy’s life. However, something unexpected happens when Megan meets with a charming psych professor named Dominic and falls in love with him. The cold and chilly setting of the romantic drama works in contrast with the heartwarming themes of love between two sisters, as well as the blossoming of a newfound romantic love.
Where Was Sisterhood, Inc. Filmed?
The shooting of ‘Sisterhood, Inc.’ was carried out in its entirety in New York, particularly in the Capital Region. As per reports, principal photography for the Hallmark production got underway in early November 2024 and continued for a few weeks before getting wrapped up within the same month. Upon the conclusion of the shooting process, one of the cast members, Leonidas Gulaptis, took to social media to share the update. He said, “That’s a wrap. @rachaelleighcook thank you for being the coolest, sweetest person. What an incredible shoot. More to come.”
Capital Region, New York
According to reports, the production team of ‘Sisterhood, Inc.’ was scouting for locations in the Hudson Valley but ended up choosing the Capital Region when an “Albany Champion” introduced them to the advantages and features of the metropolitan area. Albany County Film Commissioner Debby Goedeke told News10, “Through expert coordination, we provided prime locations, access to skilled union crews, assistance with special event permits, and any additional resources needed to seal the deal.” Once the Capital Region, which is also known as the Capital District, was selected as the primary production location, the filming unit set up camp in various streets and neighborhoods of the capital of New York State — Albany.
The cast and crew members also took over the city of Schenectady to tape many pivotal sequences, both interior and exterior, for the Hallmark film. To be specific, the Armory Studios NY at 125 Washington Avenue in Schenectady reportedly served as the production headquarters and a prominent filming site too. With more than 90,000 square feet of space dedicated to all the production needs, the film studio claims that it has the “region’s largest, dedicated, qualified New York State soundstage.” Besides providing the sound stage, it also provided the production team of ‘Sisterhood, Inc.’ with other requirements, including production offices, dressing rooms, green rooms, HMU areas, wardrobe room, and ample parking space.
